William FitzOsbern

William FitzOsbern, 1st Earl of Hereford
One of the few who has been proven to have fought alongside William I at the Battle of hastings.
He commanded (alongside Count Eustace of Boulogna ) the right wing of the norman army.
I don´t know what make the Bod is. Metal though
The nag is from the Italeri Teutonic Knights set
Oddly, he looks a bit like Mr Bean....😏

    1. It could well be a TD Bod but as we well know, how can anyone know unless they buy then ? :-)
